A few weeks after. Emma went to her .
school. She found a boarding place;
near at hand and settled down with the l
determination to work hard and give the ;
best; satisfactioa that she possibly could. -
The first morning she was confronted by l
the usual array. They were all sires. 5
from those so small that the. experienced l
teacher always put them .down as l
having been sent by strategic mothers 9
to get. them' out. of the way at 3
home. to the large boys she had spoken ‘
of to Miss liacun. some of whom were not. .i
only larger than herself. but several ;
years older as well; undone of them. ‘Mr.
Edward t‘omstock. even grew partre‘u- '
larly attentive to his teacher. ..
She was also met by the usual diversity
of text-books, those necessary nuxilia‘iics ‘
to a successful school. ranging from the
late N. \\'el\stt‘r‘s,itblc spelling book to

accused of harboring;r a tender regard for.
the teacher herself.

been so artistically get rid of in the .

. himself«tliat they. as a Board and in
9 pursuance of their duties. must dismiss
her as teacher and secure another who
_ would not jeopardile the h ‘alth of the

3 Emma had expected such an outcome
.of the ditlieulty and although she sup-
: pressed her feelings with ditficulty. she
' managed to keep them sufficiently under
control to indicate to Edward Cornstock
‘ to keep his seat. this young gentleman
having indicated his entire willingness to
i come forward and throw the entire Board
I out of the door if she was of the Opinion
3 that it was for the best.
“I never hurt any of your children.”
she exclaimed. and 'put her foot. down
very firmly. “but they all need it and I
don‘t want to try to teach them any
longer anyhow," and she walked away
and left them. - g
A few davs later she returned home ;
and soon at or met Miss Bacon.
“I‘m sorry to hear of your misfortune.“
said that lady. , ,
“Oh. you needn‘t be—I was glad to get
away.“ Emma replied. ‘
“Is that so? I‘m sorry you feel' that
way about it. I‘m afraid the time you
gave to it has all been lost.”
“\Vell..I don‘t. know—J got engaged to
the biggest boy in the school and he‘ll
be twenty-One in the spring. and we’re
«oing to be married then—I think that’s
doing pretty well.“
And as Miss Bacon thought of it and
remembered all the terms which she‘ had
taught without accomplishing anything
or that nature she admitted to herself
that perhaps Emma had donut more than
she had at first given her credit for.—

Burtuah‘s Forests of Teak.
In obtaining the vast and rich domain
of Burmah the English Government. has
come into possession. among other natu-
ral treasures. of immense. forests of teak.
which. never very plentiful in Indi. . was
becoming commerv‘ially quite lure. and
consequently of increased cost for indus- I
trial purposes. Of all the woods grown
in the East this has been pronounced as.
in some respt. cts, the most valuable. This
superiorityconsists in its being neither
too heavy nor too hard; it does not wn
nor split under exposuro,‘no matter how
prolonged. to heat or dampness; it con-
tains an essential oil which possesses the
rare property of preventing the wood
from rotting under wet conditions, and,
at the same time. acts as a; preservative to
iron, and repels insects: it is, in addi—
tion, a handsome wocd, of several varie«
ties of color and grain. a? takes a good

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE

The Value of Pond Muck.
Pond muck varies considerably in
‘ characterastbe nature of the soil from
' which it is derived (litters and the quan-
tity of organic matter in it. It usually
contains a. large proportion of mineral
matter derived from the washing of the
soil. and the organic matter varies as the
of animal matter and aquatic plants. 3
Usually it. contains about as much fertil-
izing matter as common yard manure;
hence it. is w ell worth the trouble of
draining otl‘ the water and gathering the
sediment. It should be composted with
lime and coarse litter and left to decum- *
pose three or four months. after which it. 3
makes a very useful top dressing for grass

Mowinz and Pasture hands.
The I’t'oughman has the following sug-
gestions in regard to the care of mowing
and pasture lands: Many farmers neg~
loot to clear their mowing fields of stones.
' sticks. and other obstructions to the
; mowing machine. until the grass gets so
. high that it is difficult. if not impusdble,
ito see them. and so the knives of the
mowor are iuiured if not broken: this is
' very poor policy. for on most of mowing
; fields if the work bedone before the grass
starts much. the labor of removing: all
obstructions to the harvesting: machines
is conilmrutively light. Land that has
been covered with a good dressing of
‘ barn manure during the winter. will re-
uire more labor to put it in good Con—
dition than if no dressing had "been ap-
i plied. but it. will not pay to neglect such
elds. for whatever lumps of manure
t
there may be that have resisted the ac- '
flow of the frost should bobcat up tine.
; Io as to settle down to the roots of the
grass. or they will not only be of no ben-
; efit to the grass but they will injure the
mowing machine. and prevent cutting
well what grass does grow. \thn cattle
are pastured next. to a mowing field. care
should be taken to have the fence. in a
condition good enough to discourage the
‘ cattle from making any effort to break
through it. ‘
Before cattle are turned out to pasture
: the fences should all “be put in good or-
' der. and the grass should be grown suf.
ficieut to furnish the cattle all theycam
, to cat by feeding half the time. There
VP 1 Innothing gained by turning the cattle
. in a pasture as soon as it. begins to look a
. little green; this is not only bad for the
mttledmt it is bad for the ture: many
